Open Heaven For Teens 3 October 2021 Devotional Message
One of the many characters in the Bible who made a difference is Josiah. He became a king at the age of eight and rebelled against the practises of the kings before him. Josiah was born and raised by a wicked father called King Amon (2 Kings 21:19-26 ).
Amon established idolatry in Jerusalem, he had no regard for God. In fact, he was so wicked that his servants became tired of his reign, so, they conspired and killed him. He reigned for only two years. Amon followed the footsteps of his father, Manasseh (2 Kings 21:1-15 ).
One would expect that Josiah would be more wicked than his father, Amon, who was even more so than his own father, Manasseh, but he wasnt. This shows that you can make a difference in your family regardless of what had been happening before you were born.
If Josiah could compel an entire nation to return to God, you can do the same for your unbelieving parents and friends. You can achieve this by praying constantly for them, preaching the word of God and living by example. Very soon, they will see the light of God and change.
Prayer Point
Spend time to pray for all those who are not born again in your family today.

Hymn: Let others see Jesus in You
- While passing through this
world of sin,
And others your
life shall view,
Be clean and pure
without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.
CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story,
be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.
- Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you? -
What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls
that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you. -
Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.
